No, I'm not dead. Nor did I forget about the blog. I just feel like sharing all the nice new things I've bought at once, and since not everything has arrived, I'll just put this little picture up. It's suprisingly easy to change to a red lit gauge cluster, all you have to do is scrape the blue film off the back of the gauges and replace the bulbs with LED's. One of them wasn't pushed in enough so it should actually look brighter, but I'm fairly happy with how it looks. One other little problem, my gauges aren't calibrated correctly right now. But I'll work on that. I went to a grip track day on Sunday and I know that I'll be doing more of it in the near future, considering my disdain for being caught by the police. The only other real update I have is that I've been removing as much extra weight from the car as possible. So far I've scraped off a ton of sound insulation and cut the rear seat support out. I've really been thinking lately that a shell would've been a nice way to start out because it feels like I'm piecing my car together in random segments but have yet to realize the bigger picture. Still, I'm glad that I have a vehicle that runs that I can use now. Because what is the love of motorsport if you never get to realize the awesomeness of the track.
